Ah, sorry. I just looked at the output of describe-function.

obarray-make is not mentioned in NEWS.25, so its help currently says

   Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 30.1.

FWIW, though, smartrep far predates Emacs 25, and doesn't declare a 
minimum Emacs version. OTOH it hasn't been updated for 9 years and 
probably doesn't have too many users left.
